Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GLFW documentation is written in LaTeX. Besides being powerful, LaTeX is
|
||
|
|
also very attractive since all the necessary tools for dealing with LaTeX
|
||
|
|
documentation are both free and ported to a wide variety of platforms. Another
|
||
|
|
advantage is that the LaTeX files are written in plain text, which means that
|
||
|
|
version control systems such as CVS handle them perfectly without having to
|
||
|
|
treat the documents as binary files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The documents
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two main documents:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
glfwrm.tex - The GLFW Reference Manual
|
||
|
|
glfwug.tex - The GLFW Users Guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, there is a common LaTeX style file that sets up things
|
||
|
|
such as page formatting and useful macros:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
glfwdoc.sty - Common GLFW document styles and macros
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course you need LaTeX installed on your system in order to compile the GLFW
|
||
|
|
documentation. If you are using a Unix-like operating system, then your
|
||
|
|
package system most likely has a version of LaTeX adapted for your system. If
|
||
|
|
not, the easiest way to get a full LaTeX system is to download/get the TeXLive
|
||
|
|
CD from http://www.tug.org/texlive/. It has all the necessary software for
|
||
|
|
Windows, Mac OS X and most popular Unix-like operating systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A number of LaTeX packages have to be installed in order to compile the
|
||
|
|
GLFW documentation successfully:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
color
|
||
|
|
fancyhdr
|
||
|
|
hyperref
|
||
|
|
lastpage
|
||
|
|
listings
|
||
|
|
needspace
|
||
|
|
textcase
|
||
|
|
times
|
||
|
|
titling
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These packages are all available on the TeXLive CD. Just make sure that
|
||
|
|
you have checked all these packages when installing TeXLive, or get them
|
||
|
|
in some other way if you do not have the TeXLive CD.
